I’m a Member…

It is official. The Lubitel has arrived and I can now be a formal member of the Lubitel Blogger Society! Rannie has posted great information on what a Lubitel is and how it works. Now I just have to find instructions in English and figure out how it works! (You can see the one I got here on E-Bay.)

Ciscley is picking hers up at the post office today – I’m sure we’ll both have photos from it by the end of the weekend!

Self Photography…

Round 1, Me Photos.

I’m Free!

This must be the week for hair liberation. First Jennifer had her amazing and awesome thermal conditioning straightening treatment done on Saturday. Today, I decided I had had *enough* with my hair, and I really missed having a “blow and go” hairstyle. Normally, I can get ready in 30 minutes in the morning, including my shower and drying my hair. Ever since I had it cut in February, I’ve had to do battle with it daily. Blow it with a round hairbrush, fight it to flip up just right, and then curl it with the curling iron. Ugh! I couldn’t take it any more. So I called Skoogies to see when Cruz had an opening – and it turned out he had one for 4:15 today. I asked if I could slip out and return to work (so I won’t miss any time) after I was done, and they said yes, so I did it.

I have my “blow & go” hairstyle back and I am a FREE woman! It looks really, really cute and more importantly – it feels really, really good! I’ve gone full circle and it’s back to looking like the photos I’ve used of myself here on the site on the comment pages.

I love Cruz. Love him, love him, love him. Looking for a stylist in Houston? Worth every penny, and then some.

I AM SO HAPPY!!! I’m free! I’m free! (Yes, I’ll post photos later. Promise.)

Take the Money and Run…

I have forced myself to curb my constant chattering about it, but in case you missed the notice – BlogShares is moving from Beta to the full-fledged live version on May 1st, and you only get to take your cash on hand in to the new game. Your stock portfolio will be wiped out, and you will get 1000 shares in any sites you have claimed. Cash, 1000 shares in your own sites. Nothing more.

So if you have 10,000 shares in some big name site, now is the time to move them out. But play wisely – you only get 20 transactions every 24 hours right now. Remember, buy low, sell high, watch those P/E ratios – there are some good stocks out there worth buying and holding for a day or two.

Really, I swear, I’m not addicted to the game. No, no, not at all. Uh uh. Nope. I mean, I’ve only set an alarm for the middle of the night so I could sell off stocks once. Just once. Not addicted. Not at all…

Feeling the Love…

Lately, the spam titles have been getting more and more catchy. I’m just feeling the love every time I look through my mailbox! Here are just a few of my REAL spam e-mail subject lines…

– I need someone now, please come have your way with me
– How are you doing
– You wrote a letter to me. Who are you?
– Where have you been?
– I know you like me.
– I love you, please call…

I mean, can’t you just feel the love? Have you been getting lots of loving in your e-mail too?
